Specializes in HOA, POA and real estate law

I have known Mike Thurman for double digit years, and worked with him closely for a solid 4 . He is the attorney for many HOAs and POAs in San Antonio. He and I worked together while I was on the Board for Stone Oak POA, a large Association, almost the size of a town at a population of approximately... 17K. We worked on architectural issues, signage, streets, drainage, land usage, all kinds of development issues and of course, prima donnas who always wanted " their " way. Mike was always patience and knowledgeable, well connected in the city and with current POA law. He kept abreast of any legislation that might affect us and kept me out of trouble on one than more occasion. He is highly professional and extremely well written. Want a good property association or real estate lawyer? Call Mike at Thurman and Phillips.
